i’ve been involved in lots of medical testing (i’m fine dw) and unfortunately that means i’ve been unable to give this blog the tlc it deserves. i’m almost out of the woods, though, so be patient for a little while longer and i’ll start posting again!

EDIT: hidari here, also not dead but 👌this close to perishing, uni is hard
hey guys! i’ve been experiencing some weird health problems as of late, so unfortunately i won’t be on here as frequently for the next several weeks(?) or so. i will be back, though, so don’t worry!
wink wonk HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY
round one of valentine’s special texts, this time featuring viktuuri, seungchuchu, and saramila! admin elliott will be making the next set, stay tuned!
~admin hidari
HEY GUYS LOOK AT MY RUSHED VALENTINE’S ART
a lil gift exchange for Lucy
from her list of prompts I chose the spy/bond AU, so viktor is james bond and yuuri is Q, tbh I thought about making yuuri a bond girl, but we can all agree ben whishaw in skyfall saved the bond franchise so yeah
shoutout to the other people in the gift exchange: @gigglepud @trepidationchance @shulkle @millieashford @baekmochii @tarofantasy
today’s special: crying over movies edition (spoiler free)
yuri and otabek watching ‘this japanese movie that katsudon gave me’ that turns out to be Your Name and they’re both crying and yuri is yelling at the main characters
phichit going over to seung-gil’s house to watch korean horror movies because which one of us isn’t fucking spooked by those, and they unknowingly put on Train to Busan and phichit is desperately trying to hold it together but seung-gil is outright sobbing and his dog starts crying too and phichit is now the 3rd Hot Mess in the house
guang hong and leo, our wholesome babies, are watching Coco together! Leo is translating the spanish phrases in real time and is already crying 5 minutes into the movie even though nothing sad has happened, and by the end they’re both crying and calling their families to tell them they love them
now yuuri and viktor........ Hachiko. they don’t show up to the rink the next day and yakov is super angry and demanding why they haven’t shown up and mila says they watched Hachiko the night before and he’s just like ‘oh. well okay. understood.’
my turn! like hidari said, we just copied and pasted this ask meme because we’re unapologetically lazy.
under the cut, because i love nothing more than to talk about myself and i don’t wanna clog your feed:
if someone wanted to really understand you, what would they read, watch, and listen to?
fuckk me. okay, hmm. well, first you’d have to absorb any and all content about My Man Alex(ander the Great) (<<we’re on a first-name basis) and i’m a huge fucking greco-roman nerd. then you’d listen to lady gaga and system of a down and baroque chamber and miles davis, and watch all of buzzfeed unsolved at LEAST twice. i enjoy classical literature, but then also dark stuff. so besides what i mention below, pick up some Bukowski, some Vonnegut, Up Jumps the Devil by Michael Poore, and as much trashy gay fanfiction as you can consume.
have you ever found a writer who thinks just like you? if so, who?
ah, this is a difficult one. Kerouac is pretty close, along with Richard Siken and a splash of Vonnegut.
list your fandoms and one character from each that you identify with.
i hyperfixate on fandoms, so i’m not currently involved in many?
yuri on ice = otabek altin and yuri plisetsky
the iliad (don’t laugh at me i know i’m awful) = hector
star wars = kylo aka trash son
do you like your name? is there another name you think would fit you better?
i picked elliott so i mean
do you think of yourself as a human being or a human doing? do you identify yourself by the things you do?
pass
are you religious/spiritual?
first chunk of my life i was raised roman catholic, but i’m not really religious anymore. i do hold some spiritual beliefs, though.
do you care about your ethnicity?
i’m very, very white, but my mother was adopted so now we’re trying to reconnect with the cultural background she never experienced as a child? mainly greek and russian jew, but again i’m just a european mut. white people jokes are so much fun, too.
what musical artists have you most felt connected to over your lifetime?
UGHHH this is so difficult. i like SOAD, but for a while Timber Timbre was my shit. and - this is so nerdy - johann sebastian bach 4ever.
are you an artist?
i try to be. i’m actually in the process of becoming a tattoo apprentice, after i dropped out of art school ;;_;; i recently made an art insta so i’m gonna plug it, too. follow me @homericink ;)
do you have a creed?
“you catch more flies with honey than vinegar”
describe your ideal day.
i wake up early after a good night’s rest. i play with my dogs for a little bit outside, and i read some on the hammock. then i come inside and work on an art project. i get shitty fast food with my friends, and i come home and write until i’m tired. since this is an idea day, my insomnia is gone and i go to bed by midnight and sleep soundly.
dog person or cat person?
dog person! (don’t get me wrong, though. i love kitties, too!) dogs can be total spazzes, full of silly energy and endless amounts of love, and they’re so trusting! i always joke that people have done nothing to deserve dogs, and it’s true. they are so pure and good and all they want is someone to love them?? i like how they’re more hands-on, and you can literally wrestle with them and they’ll smile up at you with a big slobbery grin ^_^ cats are too similar to people for me - i want to work to be worthy of an animal friend that’s better than me.
inside or outdoors?
outdoors as a concept, inside in practice.
are you a musician?
yep! technically i can play five different instruments, but i have two primary ones: violin and mandolin.
five most influential books over your lifetime.
FUCKKKKKKK ONLY FIVE????? come talk to me about books pls
On the Road by Jack Kerouac
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
Watership Down by Richard Adams
Iliad by Homer
The Devil All the Time by Donald Ray Pollock
if you’d grown up in a different environment, do you think you’d have turned out the same?
not at all, man. situations i was thrust into as a kid definitely shaped who i am, but i’ve made my peace with it.
would you say your tumblr is a fair representation of the “real you”?
“tumblr” me is much more organized than i am in real life. i have comorbid ocd and adhd, which is much easier to manage online than irl. i am a disaster human™
what’s your patronus?
this one is tough. either a billy goat, a black or grizzly bear, or a shark.
which Harry Potter house would you be in? or are you a muggle?
i’m a staunch slytherin!
would you rather be in Middle Earth, Narnia, Hogwarts, or somewhere else?
MIDDLE EARTH!!! every autumn when the leaves start falling, i get the biggest tolkien hard-on and i just. *sighs wistfully*
do you love easily?
i… hm. i form super close, super intense platonic relationships easily, and i’d die for a number of people in my life. but i still don’t understand romantic love? i have a hard time recognizing it in myself.
list the top five things you spend the most time doing, in order.
thinking & pacing, art/music/writing, talking, lying awake in bed from insomnia, smothering my dogs with love.
how often would you want to see your family every year?
i, too, am living with my family now that i’m back from college. and i like certain family members more than others so idk.
have you ever felt like you had a “mind-meld” with someone?
nah
could you live as a hermit?
nah
how would you describe your gender/sexuality?
queer
do you feel like your outside appearance is a fair representation of the “real you”?
i look like a twinky art student with transition lenses, 13 piercings and 2 tattoos so, almost? i also feel like i should have a bar of soap in my mouth at all times
on a scale from 1 to 10, how hard is it for someone to get under your skin?
i’d say like a solid 2. ocd is a bitch like that
three songs that you connect with right now.
On Our Knees - Konoba
Bored - Deftones
I’m Still Here (Jim’s Theme) from the Treasure Planet soundtrack ;;_;;
pick one of your favorite quotes.
"I'm free, I think. I shut my eyes and think hard and deep about how free I am, but I can't really understand what it means. All I know is I'm totally alone. All alone in an unfamiliar place, like some solitary explorer who's lost his compass and his map. Is this what it means to be free?"
- Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
~Admin Hidari Ver.~
elliott and I talked about this a little and being the great content creators we are,,,, decided to copy paste an ask meme to satisfy your curiosity. questions are from here --> http://fyeahaskmemes.tumblr.com/post/152629812132/identity-askoh-shit
I’ll now answer them under a cut so if you don’t give a shit you don’t have to read it. it’s 30 questions.
if someone wanted to really understand you, what would they read, watch, and listen to?
-deep inhale- let’s see, on the trash side, just sO much gay manga, kpop, and youtube filth. on my Intellectual™ side, I quite like sci-fi and horror, a lot of Stephen King, right now my favorite novels/series are House of Leaves and The Monstrumologist. So the answer is, a mix of wholesome sparkly gay content, and just like, the darkest shit out there. Shout out to My Favorite Murder, the podcast I’m listening to now. Stay sexy, don’t get murdered.
have you ever found a writer who thinks just like you? if so, who?
It’s hard to tell since I mostly read fiction, but i’ve read a couple of comedic biographies/memoirs I really feel, like you go through this Bad Shit™ but you laugh at it, y’know? Trevor Noah is a fuckin icon, I read his book Born a Crime in one night, it was so fascinating and funny.
list your fandoms and one character from each that you identify with.
listen. We could be here all day. let’s just boil it down to what I’m currently following in the weeb world.
anime:
violet evergarden, no one on this show is really relatable to me, but I love Violet and anyone who’s ever mean to her will catch these hands
sanrio boys, I stan Hasegawa Kouta
gakuen babysitters, I identify with the guy running the daycare tbh, I just always wanna take a fuckin nap
manhua:
their story, both girls are super cute and super gay, HEAVY RELATE
19 days, Guan Shan, probably because I also want to slam dunk He Tian into a trash can
kpop:
ikon, probably Chanwoo, I’m always ready to roast someone
bts, Yoongi is absolutely just me 1000%
blackpink, idk but I want each and every one of them to punch me in the face
do you like your name? is there another name you think would fit you better?
I use ‘hidari’ here, which is just the kanji reading for my last name. which reminds me, y’all can follow me @hidariprince on insta even tho I never post u can see some of my art
do you think of yourself as a human being or a human doing? do you identify yourself by the things you do?
mate, I’m barely even a human
are you religious/spiritual?
nope, wasn’t raised that way, never picked it up.
do you care about your ethnicity?
I have a slightly complicated family history that’s not directly acknowledged, so in the broader sense I just refer to myself as Asian, or east Asian. but I’m totally here for racial equality, representation, and making fun of white people lol
what musical artists have you most felt connected to over your lifetime?
my all time favorite band is 2NE1, and I will never fucking forgive YG for disbanding them what a fuckin gremlin that man is.
are you an artist?
yes, but I’m aiming to be an animator. even though I’m awful at digital stuff.
do you have a creed?
things I repeat to myself a lot are ‘do no harm, take no shit’ and also ‘but did you die though’
describe your ideal day.
I sleep until noon. we eat the most calorie/carb filled brunch, then we go to the dog park. we stay there until sundown. we buy more disgusting junk food, and go home to binge watch movies or shows. it’s 3am, we’re eating cereal and talking about everything and nothing. we fall asleep at sunrise.
dog person or cat person?
both, but definitely more dog
inside or outdoors?
hella indoors, my bedroom is a dank cave with the blinds always closed, I emerge once in a blue moon
are you a musician?
a terrible one. I played flute and piano but it’s just a casual hobby, I guess.
five most influential books over your lifetime.
the bell jar -sylvia plath
house of leaves -mark z. danielewski
one hundered years of solitude - gabriel garcia marquez
the shining -stephen king
complete h.p. lovecraft collection
if you’d grown up in a different environment, do you think you’d have turned out the same?
I grew up in a totally great environment and I’m still constantly on the verge of losing my fucking mind, so yeah, maybe. genetic predispositions and all that.
would you say your tumblr is a fair representation of the “real you”?
not this one, but my personal, @skribblindaydreamer, is 100% me, just a living shitpost, just,,,, a mess
what’s your patronus?
a polecat, according to pottermore.
which Harry Potter house would you be in? or are you a muggle?
we all know I’m a hugeass fucking slytherin, I’m not even in the hp fandom and I knew well before I took the pottermore thing
would you rather be in Middle Earth, Narnia, Hogwarts, or somewhere else?
I wanna be wherever the wi-fi is, tbh
do you love easily?
my first thought was ‘god I fall in love with every dog I see’ but then it occured to me this question probably means people, and in a romantic sense, listen I’m more about platonic love ok
list the top five things you spend the most time doing, in order.
-staying the fuck in bed
-watching/reading/listening to something
-drawing/writing
-taking a fuckin nap
-spending time with my doggo
how often would you want to see your family every year?
I kinda live with them. I’m like,,, move out?? in this economy???
have you ever felt like you had a “mind-meld” with someone?
I don’t fucking know what that means, but I heavy relate with anyone who’s depressed, anxious, and gay af
could you live as a hermit?
oh yeah abso-fucking-lutely, as long as I can have everything I need shipped to me. But also keep communication open and not run off into the woods because that’s how you get fucking murdered.
how would you describe your gender/sexuality?
am I a pretty boy or a cute girl? who knows? I’m pan, so it doesn’t matter either way.
do you feel like your outside appearance is a fair representation of the “real you”?
absolutely not. I’ve had many friends refer to me as ‘cute, until you open your mouth and speak’
on a scale from 1 to 10, how hard is it for someone to get under your skin?
I mean, on a superficial level, it’s easy to make me snap something harsh if you’re being an asshole, but really get under my skin?? you’d have to have done something pretty bad because I’m honestly dead inside. Like, something goes wrong and I skip straight through the 5 stages of grief to acceptance.
three songs that you connect with right now.
honestly, anything from the kimi no na wa (your name) soundtrack immediately hits me straight in the kokoro, especially Nandemonaiya
not today -bts
also literally any of Big Marvel’s screaming chicken covers is such a Big Mood
pick one of your favorite quotes.
‘Get a job. Buy your own shit. Stay out of the forest.’ -MFM
Hidari: did i tell y’all about the time i straight up broke into my friend’s house using my card because they weren’t home at the time they’d told me to come over. true story.
anyway, here’s yuri and otabek at stage 1 friendship
lord i am so sorry. for the second (2) time in my entire life i was offered a hard drink and i, forgetting about the pain medicine i took earlier, accepted. i need to apologize for tainting the pristine reputation that admin hidari has maintained on this fine blog. all this time i thought i was an otabek altin, but i’m really just a katsuki yuuri.
as penance for my crime, i’ll make y’all a new fake text post today about whatever y’all want as long as it’s sfw
now! back to our regularly scheduled programming.
Hidari: “pristine reputation” lmao, boy y’all don’t even wanna hear my drunk stories, and honestly if ever i were to make nsfw posts?? probably a few drinks would help lol
sometimes i forget the legal age in america is 21, so precious lil elliott being like ‘oh my god i got drunk for the second (2) time in my entire life’ and my 19 year old ass here like:
